pendaas for four Aanaas, one sher of pendaas are worth three rupees, it will be twelve<br />
Aanaas for quarter sher pendaas !‖<br />
Saadhu replied, ― Shethji, I have fasted all day today. I only have four Aanaas. In Jaipur<br />
you give quarter sher for four Aanaas, I have many times purchased from your shop. So<br />
give me quarter sher. If I had more money, I would have given it, but I only have four<br />
Aanaas and I am very hungry.‖<br />
―If you are hungry, then go to the ditch‖, saying thus he threw the four Aanaas in ditch<br />
nearby full of dirty smelly water. And he said, ―Is it your father‘s property, so you want it<br />
all free?‖<br />
―Shethji!‖, the Saashu said, ― Hanumaanji with the flag you see on the opposite is my<br />
father, and due to him you have earned a lot. Therefore it is my father‘s property, but now<br />
you give back to me the four Aanaas, I will go to another shop and have something to<br />
eat.‖<br />
Motishaa said, ―If you want them then take from the ditch.‖<br />
And he started serving other customers. In the end the saddened Saadhu sat on a stone<br />
opposite the kiosk.<br />
Evening came, the people gathering became light. That day Motishaa had earned four<br />
fold from his normal trade. So he passed the trading to his associate to begin counting his<br />
take for the day. He counted 490 Rupees and put them in a bag which he put nearby him<br />
with the intention to gather further ten Rupees to make up to five hundred Rupees, and he<br />
got busy again.<br />
A little time passed whereupon four monkeys suddenly forced entry into Motishaa‘s<br />
kiosk. One powerful monkey got hold of the bag with the Rupees, another monkey lifted<br />
baskets with sweets and begat to scatter them everywhere and the third took one sher<br />
weight of pendaas and placed them with the Saadhu ! The fourth monkey stood guarding<br />
the shop front !<br />
All this happened in a split second. People from around gathered together. Motishaa<br />
began to wail. He had lost everything. One monkey took the open bag of Rupees and<br />
climbed on the tree opposite. Who can he complain to now?<br />
Motishaa was wailing. The monkeys had all dispersed by this time. The gathering of the<br />
people gave chase to the monkeys, they tried to catch the monkey with the bag of Rupees<br />
but to no avail.<br />
At last Motishaa realised and he went and saluted to the Saadhu. He pleaded repeatedly<br />
saying: ―Mahaaraaj‖ I bow at your feet. Kindly get me my money back, else I am totally<br />
lost.‖<br />
